Senior Brother, Stop It, You Are A Villain! - Chapter 90.1
Sophistry (2)
Two outer sect disciples were talking and laughing as they walked in front of him, which made Ye Chen think they were making fun of him. Ye Chen drew his sword in anger and beat the two of them half to death on the spot. Their dantian was also crippled.
Some outer sect disciples called him “Senior Brother Ye Chen” instead of “Senior Brother Holy Son,” which he believed was provoking his own status. Ye Chen overpowered them on the spot, forcing them to kneel down and beg for mercy.
Some outer sect disciples were considered by him to be attempting to poach from him because they said a few more words with Zhao Mei’er. Ye Chen immediately broke their hands and feet, threw them out of Mount Taiwei, and threatened that anyone who dared to save them would be his enemy.
All these kinds, and so on.
Ye Chen himself didn’t think there was anything wrong with doing so, but the others faintly realized that something was wrong.
Han Biyun was the first to discover the problem.
Although Han Biyun was extremely dissatisfied with Ye Chen, Ye Chen was still her junior brother after all, and she couldn’t ignore the changes happening in him.
However, Han Biyun, the senior sister, has always been outspoken in her speech, and said without hesitation that Ye Chen may have entered the devil dao and that he must meditate and focus to calmly drive out his inner demons.
This remark aroused Ye Chen’s resentment, and he immediately retorted, “There is no difference between good and evil in power. If you use it for good, it will be a good power, and if you use it for evil, it will be an evil power. Even if I did enter the devil dao, as long as my heart remains good, then what I practice is the right path!”
Han Biyun was furious, “Look at all the good deeds you are doing now?! How many outer disciples have you injured in the past few days? How can you say that you are doing good deeds like this?!”
But Ye Chen said, “Those people insulted me first, why shouldn’t I teach them a lesson? As a cultivator seeking immortality, wasn’t I simply being true to my thoughts and purpose? If you can’t be happy and deal with your grudges, then what’s the point even if you cultivate the Tao?”
Han Biyun asked in disbelief, “Who told you these fallacies?”
Ye Chen snorted coldly, “I don’t need anyone to teach these truths, I realized them myself. Senior sister, please don’t deny the principles I realized just because it doesn’t conform to yours! You don’t need to agree with my truth and principles, but please allow it to exist!”
“Ridiculous!” Han Biyun said angrily, “Cultivating the Tao is not about being bold and ruthless, it is not taking human lives carelessly! You want to be carefree, but that is not the reason for you to trample on others! You have entered the devil dao, but you still don’t admit it. Do you want to continue to make mistakes?”
Ye Chen sneered and said, “Senior sister, you don’t need to use your arguments to try to suppress me. I can’t convince you, but you can’t convince me either. If that’s the case, then let’s do it according to our own ideas! Time will prove who is the one in the right!”
After he finished speaking, Ye Chen flicked his sleeves and left without looking back.
Han Biyun knew that Ye Chen’s current situation was very dangerous, but he continued to be deaf to advice, which made her feel a chill in her heart. As a last resort, she reported Ye Chen’s situation to Du Yuanxi.
After Du Yuanxi heard about this, she couldn’t help being taken aback. In the past, Ye Chen hadn’t been possessed by his inner demons, yet he was already so stubborn and aggressive. If he enters the devil dao now, won’t it become a disaster sooner or later?
So Du Yuanxi immediately summoned Ye Chen and persuaded him to cleanse and disperse his inner demons.
However, during Du Yuanxi’s persuasion, Ye Chen became very impatient. Before Du Yuanxi even finished speaking, Ye Chen interrupted her and asked, “May I ask master, what is an inner demon?”
Du Yuanxi frowned. It made her feel unhappy to be interrupted by her apprentice rudely.
But considering Ye Chen’s special situation now, Du Yuanxi had no choice but to hold back her anger and she calmly said, “Inner demons are the inner desires cultivators have as their strength increases during their progress in cultivation. It is known that powerful power can shape a person but it can also destroy a person. Those who cannot control their desires cannot stick to their heart’s true intentions. “
Ye Chen said with a smile, “Then according to those words, what does the master think this disciple’s desire is?”
Before Du Yuanxi could answer, Ye Chen said frantically, “It is to become stronger! To become stronger! To become a truly strong man that no one can beat! This is my desire! Since my desire is to become stronger, then why should I control it?”
Du Yuanxi shook her head and said, “Purpose and desire are two different things. Desire can make people lose themselves, but purpose can make people stay true to themselves.”
“No, master, you are wrong!” Ye Chen laughed as he continued, “Purpose and desire have the same essence! It is our tireless pursuit, and it is a goal that we would rather give up everything to achieve! Lose your heart? No no no! That’s not losing your heart, it’s just a decision made after seeing your heart clearly! In front of the ultimate pursuit in life, everything else can be abandoned, because those things are not important!”
In the end, he raised his head and laughed loudly, “People in the world will misunderstand me, but future generations will understand me! Time will prove that I am right!”
Seeing Ye Chen’s frantic and crazy appearance, Du Yuanxi felt cold in her heart.
Ye Chen was really possessed by inner demons.

TN: I lost all hope for Du Yuanxi. She’s still not taking action to at least, maybe, hopefully, you know, perhaps suppress Ye Chen or his inner demons, even if forcefully. Looks like Qin Zhao is the only proper human being in their generation.
Just a rant. Ignore me.
